Chương 277: The man of the rumors

                                When Zaos and Melisse returned to the base, they found their soldiers already moving. They still had to wait for one hour for the sunrise. Unless they were on a special mission, the soldiers couldn't leave the base at night. Another reason that Zaos didn't ask for permission was to not raise any suspicion among the garrison of the place.

"Did you find them?" Cohnal asked.

"Nine scouts," Zaos replied.

"That is a pretty high number… how didn't we notice them before?" Cohnal frowned.

"Don't ask me. I didn't notice their presence at all. Captain did everything by himself," Melisse said.

"Captain, huh…" Cohnal smirked.

"Shut up," Melisse said.

"Anyway, we still have to worry about the place we need to go, Captain," Cohnal said. "Not to mention, we need to be careful while we escort the villagers without alerting the others. Otherwise, the whole plan might fail at some point."
